Performance
The 740i has a standard 3.0-L TwinPower I-6 engine and an additional 48-volt mild hybrid system. The engine produces 375 horsepower, and the drivetrain for this model is only rear-wheel drive. BMW has combined the turbocharger with valuable valve control and precision direct injection for maximum efficiency. The engine is mated with an 8-speed sport automatic transmission with two modes: Sport and Manual shift. For ultimate performance, the paddle shifters are mounted on the steering wheel together with Launch Control. At BMW of Westlake near Lakewood have stocked the 740i model for our customers.
The 760i xDrive is equipped with a 4.4-L twin-turbocharged V8 coupled with a 48-volt mild hybrid system to produce a total of 536 hp. Other standard features to advance its performance and comfort include air suspension, adaptive dampers, and standard all-wheel drive.
The vehicles have an electronically controlled thermostat which helps to cool the engine. The active kidney grille has flaps and bars that regulate air intake for additional engine cooling when operating at certain performance speeds. The kidney grille is becoming a signature face for the BMW and is illuminated to improve the aesthetics.
